[Vibrant Android Development] Hamiltonzth:
Just reading through the thread, it would seem a pretty substantial amount of people would benefit from using KA7 over KB5 although they might not know it. Knowledge of modems is usually limited, people often think that newer is always better which I think plays somewhat into the poll results.

If there is a number of users that would benefit from KA7 (which there is.) it should be mentioned in the main post.

---

Again, the problem isn't rare and the number of users experiencing it is growing as the releases progress. "It won't be fixed any time soon" is an unacceptable stance, especially on a ROM that says "everything is working". We're here to aid development and report bugs, it's the developers job to correct them.

At this stage, where performance is achieving stability, it's time that attention is paid to call quality and fixing related bugs.
[Vibrant Android Development] da_dragon2k3:
I too have some questions about passion/ICS.

1. I stumbled upon editing the power control widget on my first day of using ICS. Can't find my way back there. Anyone know where it is?

2. the home screen options (home-->menu-->preferences) don't allow you to click the dock or icons options. Were they removed due to stability issues?

3. video playback does not seem to be hardware accelerated in passion. Take my Tekzilla podcasts for instance, I used to watch the .MP4 versions when my phone was on 2.1 and 2.2 (I skipped 2.3). Had hardware accel with the default video player/QQ player/rock player. Not with mx player and the other video player that comes with ICS just crashes. Anyone know about this?

I'm still on v7 lag free version. I've looked into the first two questions but could not find anything. you know how the search is on the forum. Thanks in advance everyone.
[Vibrant Android Development] neobuddy89:
We are using KB5 for better Signal Reception.

I have tested both KB5 and KA7, and definitely signal reception (and signal refreshing rate) is much better KB5.

Mute/Unmute issue exists with both modems.

Surprisingly, some people aren't having this issue.
[Vibrant Android Development] nedlog:
Even though some say they aren't having the mute/unmute issue...they will eventually. I was on CM7 during the time it was happening and folks said I sounded fine, then one day it started...so I think it will eventually be a problem for everyone...maybe.:o
[Vibrant Android Development] dpaul007:
I got a call last night and I didn't have to mute/unmute. Hopefully it stays that way *knocks on wood* :)
[Vibrant Android Development] xriderx66:
same here but on this same rom didnt have it until v7

:(
[Vibrant Android Development] Hamiltonzth:
Reception is better, when it's not dropping :P

They will in time. Let us know of any ways we can aid you in fixing the mute/unmute issue if you're not able to replicate it on your end.

I found a bug:

Listening to music on my Sennheiser MM400 BT headset the control buttons fwd / rwd do not work.

Sound is amazing using DSP manager (loudness & bass boost)
[Vibrant Android Development] hkfan:
what is the code to go in service menu ? ...i think i saw mic cancellation options in that and i want to enable that
[Vibrant Android Development] VVerevvolf:
Thanks for this - one more question, at the "Custom GB Bootloader" thread I downloaded a stock JFD to use if you have ODINed the GB Bootloaders. Could I odin back to the GB JFD or do you recommend going back to Froyo bootloaders and totally stock JFD?
[Vibrant Android Development] nedlog:
Not sure about this ROM but I know on CM7 the Devs never fixed the buttons; at least not for the stock headphones. Not a priority for most.
[Vibrant Android Development] roundel77:
Did anybody try ZEAM luncher with this ROM?
[Vibrant Android Development] dseldown:
Nope V8

No NEO using V8, I just realized I selected the quadrant pic from the snapshot I took while I was running V7, I re-tested using V8 and my scores went down in the 1900's !!! Which I wish you could explain why??

Correction noted: 1st snapshot is V7

2nd snapshot is: V8

Anyway many thanks for a Superb ROM :] <3 it!! :D
[Vibrant Android Development] getontarget:


benchmarks don't mean much if the ROM has performance that doesn't approve. I think we can all agree that better performance means more than an outdated benchmark. Remember the build edit that brought down the score but made it more fluid for v7? I believe it's similarly because of editing the build for the better.
[Vibrant Android Development] mr_psycho:
ClockworkMod Recovery and Voodoo

My Rom Manager boots just fine into my ClockworkMod Recovery menu. You need to re-flash your ClockworkMod Recovery from inside Rom Manager.

1. Select "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery".

2. Then select "Samsung Vibrant (MTD)".

3. Answer "Yes" to the dialog about whether you have installed a ClockworkMod based recovery manually.

4. Now select "ClockworkMod 3.x".

Your issue is most likely that Rom Manager is looking for a ClockworkMod recovery of version 2.x, but these newer Roms/Kernels have more recent ClockworkMod Recovery (eg. v5.5.0.2).

This Rom does not have Voodoo, which is why you don't see it in the ClockworkMod Recovery menus. The kernel, however, does have Voodoo Sound v10 support, which is why you do see sound options in the Voodoo Control app, so it's not totally useless.
[Vibrant Android Development] alaw:
where can I get DSP manager, and why has it always lagged when I pull up app tray?
[Vibrant Android Development] wergeld:
I installed KA7 modem and I am getting much better download speeds.

Tested using Speedtest.Net app:

KB5: 671 kbps down (I am being generous here and using the max peak download speed)

KA7: 5699 kbps down

These are averaged over 10 tests to the same server using the tmobile network.

I will test WiFi when I get home.

ICS Apps and Performance

Just FYI, I've found a few apps that were not compatible with ICS and slowed my phone down. Huffington Post was one. They updated the app today to be ICS compatible and smooth now. Some of the lag problems could be apps not updated yet.
[Vibrant Android Development] boystuff:
oh boy thats alot of conjecture, unfortunately where people are concerned it all starts by 1 person. 1 person says they get better reception with X modem software, while another states original works best for him. As is and has always been the case Phone hardware is not created equal. it's all made on an assembly line, faults occur in building that may cause visible or easily identifiable defects, while others only show when certain software is applied. In the case of modems, I personally experience the best data on KA6/JL4 (i actually have 3g in my area with ka7/kb5 i do not) does this make them better no, does this mean others will benefit from them the way I have? No. there's a whole list of modems for CM7/ICS and it's really up to the user Like it has ALWAYS been to find the modem that works best for there individual phone.

Modems are here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1399722

and like always if you brick break or otherwise damage your phone in any way I and the devs of said Flashables are not liable for anything you choose as the end user to do to your phone.

I do however agree that a link to the modem thread should be in the OP for as long as said modems are compatible with this ROM.
[Vibrant Android Development] getnbzy:
Quick question. How do you freeze apps within ICS. Every time I reboot once I am up and running i have usually 15-20 apps running that i don't plan on using at the moment. I have tried to disable with the paid PRO version of ROM toolbox's Auto start manager app but they still are running after a reboot. And when i randomly check my avail mem and it gets as low as 30-35m with all these apps running and my phone is dragging there has to be a way to keep these from starting and running throughout the day. I use ATK to kill them off and shortly thereafter they are back...kinda like freddy or jason lol. Any help is greatly appreciated.
[Vibrant Android Development] rsfaze:
You could freeze apps with Titanium backup
[Vibrant Android Development] xriderx66:
i think hes talking about from within ICS, which i imagine would be Settings>Apps>find app> disable ..?? im guessing not sure i also use TB to freeze
[Vibrant Android Development] steventbianco:
I renamed my build.prop, copied your revised one to system then wiped dalvik. After rebooting I got this dialog stating: Android is upgrading... Optimizing application n of 112. (n was incrementing number).

Does anyone have more info about what that process does?
[Vibrant Android Development] mveksler:
This is fine. It is ICS reloading all the parsed dalvik cache. It has to cache all the system classes for faster access.

[Vibrant Android Development] Blars1206:
Sorry, I didn't mean that to come off as a complaint. Not at all and I get that there are things to work out. It was meant as something I noticed and I just wanted to know if others experienced this because I have a coupe things not working like others so I'm starting too think I need to flash again. That's all. I have compete respect for all the developers and am definitely not trying to rush them or anything.

That's a screenshot of your recent apps list. Long press home
[Vibrant Android Development] neobuddy89:
Lol on learning kernel code. :P Just got some replies from Kernel Devs whom I PMed..

About that, thats on long-press home key.

It's ICS format i.e. format of source code.
[Vibrant Android Development] boystuff:
thats your recent apps list, acts like a quick launch, press and hold home key to bring it up, and click app to bring it up and swype the apps left or right off screen to remove them from list.
[Vibrant Android Development] lee714:
Thanks neobuddy89, you have made me stay with androids. I was thinkin about going back to iphones, but now I have hope for android since ics will be on my future phone the SGS2
[Vibrant Android Development] djf8:
Is it just me or are all the options that prompt you reversed?

like the boxes that come up with yes / no

Maybe I'm loosing my mind but on this ICS Rom everything is in this format:

No / Yes or Decline / Accept

where as before I really thought is was

Yes / No or Accept / Decline
[Vibrant Android Development] MailenJokerbell:
Am I the only one who cannot mount USB no matter what?

EDIT: nor I can restore backups with titanium.
[Vibrant Android Development] vinnydakid:
Yup, that's an ICS thing. Led to some interesting mixups when Superuser prompts would show up and I instinctually hit the left side and declined it.
[Vibrant Android Development] xriderx66:
quoted that for people who's TB doesn't work, it worked for me when i first used this rom.
[Vibrant Android Development] Decepticaons:
what a great looking ROM, im keeping my eye on this, if you get all the bugs worked out of it Im gonna give this baby a test drive! Nice work Devs and assistants!
[Vibrant Android Development] xxProphecyxx:
You need to get the latest free version of Titanium Backup from the market. Worked great on my Vibrant and Captivate. Some apps hang, but you can just get them fresh from the market. 95% of my TB backups went on without a hitch.
[Vibrant Android Development] wergeld:
Okay, removed Google Music via TB (uninstalled) and rebooted. Downloaded latest Google Music from Market and when installing it gives an "Incompatible update" error and fails to install. Same with Google+.

Sigh....
[Vibrant Android Development] Ugelvidg:
Great Work Neo, Hoping to see init.d tweaks back soon though With some of the twaeks I added I was getting up near 3-3.1k in quadrant standard, not that it matters. :D.
[Vibrant Android Development] xxProphecyxx:
As for mounting your USB... all I did was plug the phone into your computer, let it auto install drivers, and then it was ready to load via mass storage.
[Vibrant Android Development] Ugelvidg:
On v2 I was having an issue of the screen not coming once I push the lock button. Seemed very unresponsive. Saw it even before I put in my tweaks, no overclocking. Has anyone else had this? Is it fixed if so?
[Vibrant Android Development] MailenJokerbell:
Thanks but my phone did not do such thing.

I will try uninstalling the drivers and letting the phone install them itself (if it does)

Though that shouldn't be it since I tried also in Ubuntu and nothing.

But will try anyways.

Alright I did a bit of searching but did not find anything pertaining this on V8 since the init.d fix is supposedy included in this version.

I odin'd my phone to LIDROID yesterday and then flashed the ICS v8 rom (following the instructions) but I'm experiencing quite a bit of lag - even after letting my phone settle in for a while. Everything from launcher lag to responsiveness to opening apps - very few times it would be lag free but usually there'd be some pretty bad initial lag when opening the app drawer.

I noticed many are saying theirs is very smooth so I'm wondering if I did anything wrong?

Thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] ebpfdane:
Did you restore your apps without data?
[Vibrant Android Development] wergeld:
So, tested WiFi with KA7. Said connected to my router, but icon was grey (no google sync). Rebooted and got same.

Let phone sit for a bit and it lost WiFi altogether. Under settings it says it is connected but nada on icon or in IP change.

I really think there is something messed up in the OS level for WiFi control. I went back to CM7 and got amazing speed using KB5 and KA7. Installed ICS v4, 6, and 8 and WiFi was craptastic under either modem. Not sure what the deal is.
[Vibrant Android Development] mattraab:
this happened to me on a V7 but then i flashed miui and it did it again. so i went back ICS and same thing, rebooted a couple of times and went to other areas of the house then BAM all of a sudden kept working good again.
[Vibrant Android Development] asdf916:
ka7 has always worked well for me. from froyo, to GB (CM7), to ICS (neo's).
[Vibrant Android Development] isojii:
Assuming you are talking to me, I only restored one app with data (GoSMS) but I chose to uninstall as I didn't mind the ICS SMS app.
[Vibrant Android Development] Arhum1994:
So is there any solution to the lag in the v8??

I was experiencing lag mainly in the launcher and getting force closes is the gallery and all video playing apps(realplayer,mx videoplayer and the normal video player).Also now i the phone was restarting everytime i mounted my usb(this worried me so i decided to try MIUI.

If anyone could give me the solution to the FC and lag i would happily revert back to this rom.

the lag and random force closes forced me to go to MIUI NB :(
[Vibrant Android Development] TFordham:
FC? Lag? Not happening with me.
[Vibrant Android Development] hurtz777:
Hey Neo would the source from Onecosmic's Vibrant Voodoo Color kernel help you implement voodoo color in passion's kernel? ICS looks amazing with voodoo color. Unfortunately the voodoo color setting still doesn't stick after reboot. Voodoo color definitely looks way better then using the Galaxy Settings app. The screen has way more color vibrancy and is brighter with voodoo color due to full RGB color intensity control as well as gamma.
[Vibrant Android Development] mryounghc:
same here.no fc or lag at all.
[Vibrant Android Development] neobuddy89:
I will have conversation with Nelson and Eugene to make Voodoo Color implemented though I cannot guarantee.

Moreover, I read somewhere Adding Voodoo to OneCosmic's ICS messed with Gammatables in the kernel source though I am not sure.

Well, I tried next to the router, outside on the patio, in the kitchen, etc. Nothing.

I get the up/down arrows on the greyed out wifi icon (with full bars) but nothing ever refreshes or downloads. Aggravating.

I as most have the same mute/unmute issue for incoming calls. What was interesting today is that I was using my bluetooth headset all day and did not have any complaints about how I sounded or had to use mute/unmute at all. As soon as I got home and answered the call without the Bluetooth headset issue was back. Question, has any one else saw similar results. If it is not just me, it might help Neo and the team in fixing this..

So far I've definitely had two bugs over the past 2 days that are consistent: random Launcher force closes, and soft reboots after sending a text.
